Duboce Triangle, SF 94114 3542030 3 units · 3 fl · 1904

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 775-779 14Th St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1904
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1904
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 775-779 14th Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Schneider Gia D, is a three-story flats and duplex building constructed in 1904. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel on all three floors in 2018, installation of new HVAC systems, electrical upgrades including a 200A service upgrade, and plumbing improvements such as replacing the 1" galvanized water service line. More recently, there was a fire safety incident in 2022 that was resolved by January 2023, and a carbon monoxide incident recorded in the fire incident reports, though fortunately neither incident resulted in civilian injuries.

The building has a history of maintenance and safety issues that were addressed through various permits and repairs, particularly in the mid-2000s. This includes work to comply with housing violations from 2005 and 2006, involving rear stair repairs and the removal of combustible storage. The property also experienced documented heating issues and roof leaks in 1996, both of which were eventually resolved. An illegal short-term rental violation was reported and closed in 2022, and there have been three recent fire-related incidents - one carbon monoxide incident and one smoke detector activation - neither of which resulted in injuries. The building's recent maintenance history suggests active management attention, with no current active violations or complaints on file. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding graffiti and street cleaning, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 775-779 14Th St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
43rdpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 164 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
